Tofu is a common ingredient, used in many delicious dishes such as tomato-stewed tofu, stuffed tofu, and snail-banana tofu soup... Familiar as they may be, have you ever heard of paddle-surfing tofu? Despite its fancy name, paddle-surfing tofu is essentially the fried tofu we make every day, but with a twist – you have to make the tofu yourself instead of buying it. Paddle-surfing tofu is not only delicious and easy to make but also ensures hygiene. Give it a try, ladies!
Ingredients for making paddle-surfing tofu:
(Serving for 4)
- Soy milk: 1 liter
- Cornstarch: 50g
- Chicken eggs: 5 eggs
- Cooking oil, seasonings, garlic, chili
How to make paddle-surfing tofu:
Step 1:
- Pour soy milk into a stainless steel mold, add cornstarch, and stir well.
- Beat the egg yolks and mix with a pinch of seasoning: salt and bouillon powder until the spices dissolve.
Step 2
- Pour the egg yolk mixture into the mold containing soy milk, mix well, and steam over boiling water for 30 minutes.
Step 3:
- After boiling the beans, take the cooked beans out, cut them into small pieces.
- Heat the oil in a pan, then fry the beans until golden brown.
- Remove the beans and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil, then arrange them on a plate and garnish with some fresh herbs.
- Peel the garlic, crush it, and finely chop the chili. Put garlic and chili in a bowl of fish sauce, add a little water to make dipping sauce. Add sugar, lime, and more chili if desired.
Finished Product Requirements:
Once completed, the paddle-surfing tofu boasts a golden crispy crust, a tender and fragrant interior, naturally sweet. The dipping sauce carries the aroma of garlic, the spiciness of chili, and a rich flavor without being too overpowering.
Notes:
- For a sweeter and softer tofu, consider making your own soy milk instead of buying. Choose fresh and good-quality soybeans, soak them in water. When the beans soften, grind them into a smooth paste, strain to extract the liquid, and pour it into a pot. Heat on low flame until it boils. While boiling, remember to stir consistently to prevent the soy milk from sticking.
- When beating the chicken eggs, remember to beat in one direction only, avoiding circular motions to prevent the mixture from becoming lumpy.
- Besides steaming, you can also bake the mixture of soy milk and eggs to make the tofu smoother and more enticing.
